Steven Sashen's Take on Modern Footwear: Are Your Shoes Hurting You?

In fact, I'll say it this way: if you're okay even for a little bit of time being barefoot, then you'd be okay switching to this, as long as you again switch and let yourself get used to them slowly, like going back to the gym.
Have you ever thought about how the shoes on your feet might be doing more harm than good? In this episode of 'The Super Human Life,' Frank Rich chats with Steven Sashen, the co-founder and CEO of Xero Shoes. Steven's background is as diverse as it gets—he's a Masters All-American sprinter, a former All-American gymnast, and even a stand-up comic. But today, he's here to talk about something that affects us all: our feet.
Steven dives into the history of footwear and explains how modern shoes, with their elevated heels and cushioned soles, are messing with our natural foot mechanics. He argues that these designs are leading to injuries and long-term damage. Steven advocates for minimalist footwear and barefoot running, sharing how they can help restore natural foot strength and alignment. The conversation also covers practical tips for transitioning to minimalist shoes, emphasizing the importance of foot exercises and proper alignment.
Steven's insights are both eye-opening and actionable, making this episode a must-listen for anyone curious about the impact of their daily footwear choices. If you've ever wondered whether your shoes are doing more harm than good, this episode is for you.
